I have several brands of reading glasses, including prescription ones with blue block. The fit of my prescription ones seem a bit off, causing some pressure on the sides of my head after several hours. I really don't really to go in to the optician right now for an adjustment. My eyes also tend to get dry with computer use.I ordered a Prospek pair in my reading prescription but obviously no customization, so cannot correct for my astigmatism. However, the frames are very light, and with the yellow tint, my eyes seem to do well with computer fatigue. They are also very lightweight, which I love. Due to being so light, they seem a bit fragile but I can be rough on things and after a month, I have had no issues.The only reason that I rated 4 out of 5: these are functional, but not very attractive. They are unisex but not very attractive on me. The yellow tint alone makes them a bit odd looking, and the frames themselves are not very attractive on me. I considered the other frame shape options sold by Prospek, but they were either out of my magnification, or no better than these on terms of style. They do their job in terms of preventing fatigue, which is what is most important.Finally, the first pair that I ordered was completely off in terms of magnification. I ordered a +0.5 and the package was labeled as such but I received something much stronger. Fortunately the seller returned for free.

I ordered these in desperation after losing my brand new glasses from the eye doctor ($350 frames and $288 high def lenses with blue light filtering). 24-hours later, I found my glasses, which is great. However, it was too late to cancel this order - HOWEVER, I'm keeping these. The lenses are just as good as my expensive ones covered by my insurance. Yes, the frames aren't the same but I like the frames here. I had also ordered a 3-pack of readers on Amazon the same day I ordered these and they aren't anywhere near as good as these. This are amazing readers. I encourage those who need them to buy these. They really are fantastic.

I was fortunate to have owned a pair of prospek blue blocking glasses and loved them but lost them. Bought another pair and lost them during a move. Not wanting to drop close to $40 a pop I chose to get cheaper ones. I went through 4 different other brands on amazon and they all had the same issues: flimsy, poor blue blocking, and most annoyingly: GLARE. Sometimes so bad I would think I was staring at a mirror when really it was a wall. Eventually I came to my senses and bought a pair of prospeks again. The first pairs I had were the Dynamic model. This time I went with a different model, Spektrum. Just like the Dynamic model, the Spektrum's fit perfectly, filtered blue light excellently and MOST importantly... NO GLARE! it makes you wonder what material all the other manufacterurs are using that doesn't block blue light well and creates horrible glare. Dont't bother with any other brands on amazon. Buy a pair of Prospeks! One more thing. they have a slight yellow tint on the lenses. which i'm not only fine with, i'm thankful for. If that bothers you don't even bother buying clear tinted "blue blockers", might as well save your money. I would sooner have a slight yellow tint to my glasses than risk macular degeneration when i'm older.

Update: I love them but they just tent to scratch easily. I looked at my order history and noticed that they last me about 6 months before there are so many tiny scratches that it gives me a headache as my eye begins to focus on the scratches. I have dropped them, yes, but there are hundreds of tiny specs on them so I know I could not have dropped them that many times. The glass needs to be a little more resilient and I would pay extra for that.I like everything about these glasses. The very first thing I noticed was the high quality and clear optics. The rims are plastic and black on the outside and white on the inside while the temples are metal with the same color scheme. The temple tips are soft plastic. These glasses are very light and the bridge fits perfectly over my nose. I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend.

I never realized that the light from my monitors was causing eyestrain until I started wearing these glasses and noticed that I wasn't scrunching my eyes anymore. The scrunching then led to headaches which no longer happen due to these glasses. I wear contacts but noticed that my prescription glasses also have a similar filter, which leads me to believe that a filter like this makes a difference. The glassed themselves are comfortable, stylish and the arms are somewhat adjustable in case your head is smaller or larger.I would recommend these to a friend if they were having issues with headaches and/or eyestrain.How I review:When I review a product said product automatically starts with four stars as I rarely will purchase anything below four stars. I then add and/subtract stars based on certain criteria as listed below.1. If an item is exactly what I expected and nothing more it will receive a four star rating2. If an item surpasses my expectations it will gain a star (5 Stars)3. If an item goes slightly below my expectations it will lose a star (3 Stars)4. If the instructions for the product (if needed) are poorly written (hard to understand due to language issues or grammar) or just too hard to follow it will lose a star no matter if the product meets or exceed my expectations5. If a product is significantly below my expectations I will deduct two stars6. It will be rare that I would give a product one star since I buy mostly items that have a 4+ rating but in rare instances there may be a good reason that even a four star product receives a one star rating from me. It could be because of customer service issues from the company but whatever the case is I will clearly explain my reason for giving a product only one star
